Vintage 1940s Allenburys Pastilles Medicine Tin Flat Banner US Export London
This is a highly collectible, authentic vintage Allenburys Pastilles empty tin box, manufactured in England by the historic pharmaceutical firm Allen & Hanburys Ltd, London.
[RARE DESIGN VARIANT]: Unlike the more common 1960s versions featuring ribbon-edged or scalloped banners, this particular tin features the scarcer, older streamlined flat-edge blue banner design from the 1940s to early 1950s era.
The back displays licensing details for North American distribution through E. Fougera & Co., Inc. (New York) and Glaxo-Allenburys (Canada) Ltd. (Toronto). This specific flat-banner variant is a highly sought-after item for serious apothecary, medical advertising, and litho tin collectors due to its short production span. Perfect as a historical display piece.
